The best fire starter because does totally shoot out fireballs on the tinder

5WOW The Eagel Scout - FEB 23, 2012

I used to have a five dollar Colmen magnesium fire starter, I HATE IT! I am an experienced eagel scout and I am great at using fire starters. But this one would only shoot 2 or 3 sparks at a time. My Bear Grylls fire starter shoots out a fire ball!!

I've owned and used a Gerber Strike Force fire starting system for many years. Bought one of these for EDC kit in my rig. The ferro rod is generous enough for many hundreds of strikes, more than I'll likely ever need. Should last for years.

This man's a genius. From what I see on his shows, you need to simply just angle the stroke near the end, and you'll feel the resistance. To those saying this product did not work, it must be in your technique, or a simple manufacturer defect. Trustworthy tool, and the extra compartment for tinder is genius. The whistle is cool too, but is piercing, which may or may not be a good thing. Just a heads up, but i find that there are only advantages to any of Bear's products.

Works great and it looks real good

It works quite well, providing some impressive sparks, but it would've been nice if Gerber gave it a larger storage compartment. Also, some technical advice for Gerber: if I engineered this device, I would've made the starter-rod be able to come out so that you can turn it around and use the length of the rod that is stuck in the handle.

it looks good to me from the video and it look handy

5RADICAL! Joseph Ramsay - JAN 21, 2012

I bought this a year or so ago, and it's the best fire steal I've ever had! Then I accidentally left it in my back pack at the airport and I had to throw it away. But is is the first fire steal I've had that successfully lit a fire in one strike. Marvelous.

PLEASE RESTOCK SO I CAN GIVE YOU MY MONEY!

my 8 year old daughter can even start a fire with this ....amazing tool....

1Peace Officer John Lupo - JAN 14, 2012

I bought this unit believing it was high quality due to the reputation and experience of the man who is endorsing it. It is without a doubt the worst fire striker I have ever used. I will be returning it to Gerber. The problem is the metal striker.

5brilliant smc - DEC 29, 2011

it is a brilliant piece of equipment i am a big fan of bear he is a role model to me.maybe could of came with a few more cotton balls

1Peace Officer John Anthony Lupo - DEC 27, 2011

Dear Sir or Madam
I wish to advise of a problem with the metal striker on the survival series fire starter. I gave this device to my spouse as a gift to help complete an emergency kit for her 4 wheel quad. Both of us are avid outdoors people with years of experience in Canada's North. We were on a trip and tried to use the fire starter and could barely get a showere of sparks. In fact I could not get enough spark to light a cotton ball. It appears the striker is too smooth. I could remedy this by filing it down or putting a sharp edge on it, however I feel I should not have to modify a new piece of equipment. I was going to give my two daughters these fire starters for Christmas but decided against it as I would not want them to depend on it in an emergency situation. Please advise as to how we can rectify the problem. I have several pieces of Mr. Grylls equipment and feel this one slipped past quality control

This fire starter is very nice and sturdy. I have used this many times on my camping trips. It has not let me down at all. You will not regret buying this product.

5Great tool Nick - NOV 28, 2011

Amazing product! I have put it to the test and it just blows the doors off anything else. 100%. If you are unsure of purchasing; I promise you won't regret!

3Magnesium? JD - NOV 26, 2011

Not sure why it does not include a magnesium strip to create shavings?

5cooooooooool bob - NOV 20, 2011

5Your Title Your name - NOV 15, 2011

Good so far.

4Good to go LAV - NOV 10, 2011

It produces good sparkles and it's easy to use. Dry compartment and whistle are a plus. O-ring came off while using it, just FYI.

5Amazing Will - OCT 17, 2011

I was camping and needed a fire and this thing started the fire in 3 strikes! It is the best fire starter ive ever used. Good job bear and gerber. I also love the priorities of survival thing. I used the deadfall to catch a rabbit. So basicly its crazy go

5Your Title Max - SEP 16, 2011

Works like a champ! The storage compartment keeps your tinder dry until you need it. The shaft of the starter is nice and thick, unlike a lot of others that I have used. This one will last a good long time! Highly recommended!

We’ve seen him use a fire bow, striking flint on his knife, and rubbing two sticks together—if it can be done, Bear Grylls gets his fire started on Man vs. Wild. But forget the blisters and the whole Cro-Magnon thing: the human race has come a long way from our spear-wielding ancestors. We now have the Fire Starter from Gerber’s line of Bear Grylls Survival Series.
